Our ride
March 10 in South Africa ⋅ 🌬 25 °C
At the airport we picked up our rental car and of course we got "a free upgrade" aka they let you book a car that wont be available so they call it an upgrade rather than "sorry we cant get our shit together". So yeah, thats why we drive this humongous SUV that sounds like a lawnmower if you try to stick to the speed limit.Read more

Motorway day
March 11 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
The next morning we prepared for a long drive eastwards. We had some breakfast, bought some snacks and and off we went! Here's a snapshot of Alex trying not to die, driving on the wrong side of the road for the first time. Wanna know if we'll survive? Tune in for the next episode of keeping up with Mieke & Alex (we'll maybe come up with a better name, suggestions are welcome)Read more

Ou Meul backery
March 11 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
Sitting on our butts all day made us hungry so we took a little break in a little town called Riviersonderend (which means river without an end as i have learned). Maps.me told us there was a Spur (very healthy fast food) but that was not the case anymore. Luckely there was a lovely backery called Ou Meul so we grabbed some snacksthere which were very delicious. Ou Meul is definitely worth a visit!Read more

Day 2
Pit stop
March 11 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Because our car has the aerodynamic propperties of a brick we had to stop to refuel for the first time. For those that didn't know, you dont pump your own fuel, someone does that for you which is weid but strangely pleasent because in that moment i didnt know on what fuel our car is running on. (The attentive reader will certainly be able to answer this question 😉)
From the petrol station we had a lovely view on a nestlé factory whch made us feel like home🙃Read more

Aribnb I
March 11 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
After a long drive and missing a turn repeatedly we finally arrived at our Airbnb for this night. We were welcomed by the lovely hosts which showed us the room and the breathtaking view overlooking the bay and knysna. We wanted to take a picture from the view but we hat to deal with the mandatory wine on the terrace first. Due to loadshedding the lights went dark so we could take a picture where you can actually see something. The next morning was overcast and since we want to make you jealous we cant share this picture.Read more
